Bill... Last year I hooked a monster and it went to the bottom of the river and I could not budge it.... This year I hooked a Fish in the same hole and it took off like a stuck hog... It peeled off almost the whole fly line stopped way down river in the current and finally got off.. I have not seen this fish yet... I am looking forward to my next trip... Frank

Thats great Frank.......

Guide Bill Carnazzo told me the big fish his client recently hooked, fought and lost down river from Dunsmuir was over 5 pounds.

I think big fish come up river in the spring to spawn from Shasta Lake.

It is a very special river with the chance to hook a very large wild Rainbow trout.
